burlap mask tutorial scarecrow

[@Hugojosecor]

Allen is an endless source of creation. This one even I can produce!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

you can do it!

[@daddymidwest4111]

I love that I go from, “That looks like garbage.” to “That’s freaking AMAZING!” When watching your tutorials. Thanks for sharing your gift/talent!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

A common sentiment , oh ye of little faith lol.

[@wogguss]

Just discovered your channel trying to find ideas for creative Halloween decorations. I absolutely loooove this burlap guy, great for a porch. Thanks for showing the novice the scary path!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

you can do it! go make stuff!

[@bigpermsgarage6290]

Im so glad i found your channel.

[@statesrights01]

you are the ONLY one I've seen use the face sock!! Love the idea

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Thanks! They're very handy and light weight. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jdmauldin10101]

I like this method. Using latex to me always makes the burlap look shiny. Looks cool if it's the look your going for. This natural look to me is awesome.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

its does keep a natural look- and its a faster process.

[@harmonysunshine61664]

What an awesome idea on using the sock ..i ordered a burlap scarecrow mask that is impossible to wear..fibers are everywhere..Got in my eyes just trying it on!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

the sock is a must, burlap masks ought to be lined in my opinion.

[@finngodwulf4952]

"I love the smell of contact cement in the morning." Great video, Allen! Love it!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AaronGriffinGWP]

Just found your channel last night and love your videos and sense of humor. Keep up the great work and killer ideas!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

thank you so much, I nope you subbed!

[@asurasyn]

Btw, you can tie a safe noose with sisal by putting a knot on the neck loop then tie as normal for a badass neck piece for this.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

I dont do too many nooses due to a local sensitvity to them. but you could if you want for sure!

[@skulkn2670]

I think the paint sock is a great idea to use as a base. A vinyl mask would look really wicked! Thanks for the inspiration, Allen.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

It does work well as a liner

[@603VIL]

Yes! I've been waiting for this one Allen. I've bugged you long enough and finally the squeaky wheel gets its oil...lol. Bravo sir! I love the balaclava underneath for the liner. I'm made one of these last year according to the Jared Myers method with silicone calk. I also went for a Grim Stitch look. Long process. Looks wise, it came out awesome. Problem was it was heavier than a cement truck with a full load and I messed up my vision. It was also my first mask that I've ever made. Regardless, I will be adjusting my methods after seeing this tutorial. As always,.thank you! 🤘🏻💀

[@StiltbeastStudios]

these are so light weight, and contact cement is more stable for your skin for sure.

[@603VIL]

@@StiltbeastStudios how good of a job does the contact cement allow for in terms of sculpting?

[@asurasyn]

It's hard to find quality masks you can wear with glasses, but I believe this qualifies. Well done.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

yeah, I just had to make a plant monster mask for a glasses wearing actor

[@gorillaau]

For some there is the option of contact lenses. Another solution might bento put a pair of safety glasses over the form, before the cotton liner is pulled on, thereby allowing more room for the wearer's glasses.

[@debray840]

Man, you are Awesome. I love your tutorials. I've learned so much from them. Thank you.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Glad you like them!

[@upstatestorytellers6835]

I really don’t understand why you don’t have more views on your videos. You’re extremely talented and I’ve learned a lot watching your stuff. Thanks!

Working on it!

[@bridget22868]

This mask is awesome. I love it, I think it would look great as a prop even in my Haunted Path. I really want to say thank you for showing us your talents and teaching us how to make things like this. It will be an awesome addition to our Halloween Fun!!! Again THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!!!! And one more thing, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Very Happy Holiday Season.. Stay safe.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

glad you like the video- you have a great holiday yourself!

[@ken2391]

Did you actually use that much contact cement or did you switch cans during filming?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Im sure I switched cans lol- you saw me apply everything I used.

[@Cisco36691]

I love scarecrows! Great idea for the teeth. Thank you so much for these tutorials.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Glad you like them!

[@rhysnybo3420]

This version of the scarecrow looks pretty scary and horrific almost looks like a Vampire kind of but definitely makes for a unique scarecrow I absolutely love the mask make and fall and autumn leaves overall its epic

[@TrueBrit1]

Another great project Allen. I love burlap/hessian scarecrow type props, especially masks. Can you do some gloves to go with it, using a similar process?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

you absolutely can! ....or did you want me to do it?

[@TrueBrit1]

Lol - it's much easier to watch you make them. Plus I just can't get enough of your safety first approach - it is truly incredible, in fact unbelievable.

[@MrZombie1975]

Made a few this last weekend. Thanks!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

awesome!

[@Horror_Hero]

I have to make one of these for a movie. But he wants it to be part jack o lantern. Could I use your spray foam skull method to make the pumpkin separately then attach them after its dry?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

you can, or you could make the pumpkin first and use the burlap to hold it on while you make the mask.

[@joshneuman3683]

I like how it trun out keep up the work

[@StiltbeastStudios]

thanks!

[@nathanjones5665]

Actually in the process of making one now using several layers of burlap over a skull paintball protective mask. Will have to email you photos when finished since I am no longer on Facebook.

awesome!

"If you can smell colours, then get some fresh air" - wise words

Just starting an attempt to make a burlap mask. You use the contact cement and mention the fumes, could you have used hot glue instead?

How do you get the wrinkles out of the burlap once treated with glue or stiffener?

Why did you let the contact cement dry?

thats what makes contact cement work. apply to both sides and let dry then put them together with force. it does not work well if you put them together when the glue is wet.

just have the worlds smallest head to fit in it. they are just too small. you could buy a mannequin head, or beef up the mens wig head with spray foam- there is not much hope if you use the alien looking wig head, they are waaay too small.

Deep in the dark and the moonlight , deep in the dark and the dim, deep from the throat comes a growling that speaks of evil and sin. The moon a bloody yellow , as the Autumn leaves by winds are blown swirling around the feet and ankles In dust devils on the woodland trail. A rush of movement from the darkened bushes , a scream she lay dead on the woodland floor , the Autumn leaves blowing over her , she will walk this path no more. He crys his tortured soul to the Obscene orb in the sky , his teeth a filthy yellow , his eyes the color of urine Blood ,red like ruby's drip from his muzzle , drips from mouth and chin Blood red like ruby fire in the moonlight laying on thoat and lace A locket she held in her hand , in it a picture of her lover , it was a picture of him. The cruelness of jealousy her rival In loves embrace wanted him , not winning in fair competition in dark powers seeked her revenge.
